I just picked the gun up from the seller. It was a very plesant transation. The gun was professionally done in the mid-60s my a Mr. Harry Dell, a gunsmith in Birmingham, AL. As the story goes, Mr. Dell also worked on a pistol for John Wayne and a rifle for Charleton Heston. Mr. Dell passed away a few years ago according to th seller.

Has anyone heard of Mr Dell?

The pictures do not do the gun justice. According to the serial number, the gun was manufactured in 1916.
